♫ 박장현 & 박현규 - Love Is... (The Heirs OST)

Okay, so the actual 'full' name of these amazeballs sneakers is Burnetie Ox 'Born To Be Bold' in Pink. I saw them on MySale one night, and it was practically love at first sight. Pink, leather and studs? Come to me, baby! Ψ(｀▽´)♡

I had a hard time choosing between pink, purple, white and black, but in the end I chose pink because it's my favourite colour. (｡◕‿◕｡) I was hoping for them to arrive before my Singapore trip, but since it had to be shipped from the USA, I figured it wouldn't arrive in time. As my luck would have it, they were delivered to my doorstep the day after I returned from SG. （￣～￣;）

The first thing I noticed (besides the lack of a box) was that the shoelaces were pink instead of white. Sure, they matched the colour of the sneakers perfectly, but somehow it just didn't look right. Other than that, the shoes were exactly the same as illustrated and described.

Love the spiky studs!

The leather felt sturdy yet soft, and the spikes were firmly attached to the shoes, so I'm not worried about them falling off. The shoes were slightly heavy due to the rubber soles, but that's to be expected. According to the tags (and the Burnetie site), the soles are made from pre-consumer recycled rubber.

Eco friendly

Anyway, I didn't like the pink shoelaces at all, so I bought some white ones from Bata. Then I went to Daiso and saw these super awesome pastel rainbow laces, so I bought those too. Guess which one I ended up using?

See the difference a shoelace makes :3

The pastel rainbow ones, of course! (Also because the Bata ones were slightly too short fml)

Now these are officially the most perfect pair of sneakers for me (for now). This is basically me in footwear form: pink, spikes and pastel rainbow. (◡‿◡✿)

Can't wait to wear them out this weekend! Should I do an OOTD post with them? Let me know in the comments! (≧∇≦)
